We wish all our Dhamma Friends Happy New Year 2023!
For this coming New Year, we would like to start our monthly one day Meditation retreat (on the last Sunday of the month) starting on January 29th 2023.
For this retreat Sayardaw U Sanda has some guidance for the meditators to follow.
1. Retreat will be from 9 am till 5 pm and meditators to be on time in the morning to pray and take 5 precepts before the meditation starts together with Sayardaw. Also Sayardaw will give Dhamma Talk in the evening and will distribute merit before we leave at 5pm. Sayardaw requests that you stay for the full period of the time.
2. Lunch time will be from 11 am till 12 noon and Sayardaw has requested no socializing or talking at any time during the whole period of the retreat.
3. Sayardaw has suggested one hour sitting and one hour walking during the retreat but meditators can also choose their meditation routine.
In addition to the monthly day meditation retreat, we will have one hour weekly meditation every Saturday at 3 pm starting 7th January 2023 with the guidance of Sayardaw U Sanda for the Novice meditators and for anybody who can give little time and can’t join the monthly retreat,or who would like to come routinely every week.
Hope we all can start our New Year with good merits for the coming year.
